The Con rosaIons Of : Lady.

These are the days that try wom-
ans skin, and she who is able to keep
her hands and nose white and her lips
and cheeks red has in possession q SO.
cret that her sisters and cousins must be
forgiven for enyying.
Cold weather Is the ruination of com.
plexion, and there is absolutely no way
of preserving good one or improving
skin Of negative charm if much wash
ing is persisted in. 1t may shock the
neat to say it, but the ladies who know
how to treat their face do not apply
water to it more than once a day, MOI
allow soap to touch il oftener than once
a week. An ablution is made in the
morning, and that ends the matter.
Just the temperature of the water de.
ponds entirely on the nature and tex.
ture Of the skin, and each bather is the
best Judge of the matt ,r. Some COM
plexions would be ruined with hot
water; others require tepid sponging.
and there are still other faces that glow
and thrive under regular dash of cold
water.
Pretty Miss Gertrude Griswold, Of
McCaul's Opera Company, souses her
face before and after rising with water
as hot as she can bear it, following the
boil with a dressing of rose-water and
glycerine. This harmless wash is dried
up with fine rice powder rubbed on with
q fine cambria handkerchief, The face
is kept clean by wiping off the dust OF
soil and applying powder when neces-
sary. Speaking about powder Miss
Griswold said: ':My only amusements
are powdering and rocking" and she
has a complexion that is as fresh and
smooth as baby's.
The leading lady in Barrett's com.
pany, Miss Eastlake, allows very little
familiarity between her face and water
arguing that the skin is too delicate to
endure through much washing. She
knows the way the grain runs and all
rubbing is with it
Miss Ellen Terry is one of the daily
face washers but consumes rose-water
and glycerine-by the quart and con.
fesses that she literally breathes through
the fumes OF English breakfast tea and
clouds of rice powder.
Emma Abbot has beautiful white
skin, which she keeps so by bathing in
strong glycerine, an unusual habit, as
the oil is generally irritating to the
face.
Ladies who visit Paris for the purpose
OF studying fashionable life, invariably
return addicted to the use of cream of
cucumber, which prevails among the
fair sex of that city. There are as many
creams and ointments for keeping the
skin smooth and healthy as there are
manufacturers, and though all may not
be valuable, any one is good that can
be depended on to ward off chapping
and dry-skin, ....
After summing up the cost, vexation,
and risk of novel preparations, pure
glycerine diluted with half the quantity
of water is at least q reliable remedy
against redness and eruption. If the
skin shows a tendency to darken weak
On the oil. One washing a day is
enough for any beardless face, and in
justice to the owner it should not pre-
cede exposure 70 the outer air.

A REFOR PRISON.
A Bill to Keep Young Convicts from
Association with Hardened Criminals.

Bill to Keep Young Convicts from
Association with Hardened Criminals.
a bill to establish prison reformatory
passed the Senate Friday night. 1t was
introduced by Senator Shaw. The follow
ing is the substance of his speech in advo-
cacy Of the bill:
Mr.. PRESIDENT: The bill under consid-
Grafton provides that there shall be estab-
ll>hed In connection with the State Peni-
tentiary. under the direction and control
of the board of that institution, where
convicts under the age of fifteen years
shall be confined separate and apart from
other convlcts aud i'll the discretion of
the board such convlcts may be exempted
from wearing the usual convict garb
Following closely upon the history of
creation came the story of crime, and
prisons are as old as history and it seems
evident now that they will be needed in
the future even to that time which will
bear closely upon the coming millennium
but as old as is the history of prisons and
the punishment of crime by imprisonment
yet the idea of prison reform is a com
paratively new one, and of modern date.
y hundred years ago average lntelli
gence was disposed to attack crime with
vIndictive penalty and severe punishment,
anu II ID OH NltuIu Tue pICStut CculuIN
that It has been taught that prisoners
have at least the one right of an oppor-
tunity for reformation. And this neces-
sarily implies that there shall be a classi-
ficatlon of prisoners and especially is it
necessary that the unfortunate young
convicts of the jails and penitentiaries
should be separated from prisoners old and
hardened in crime. Take a boy of tender
years, march him through the gates of
the penitentary, put the prison garb on
him and place him in the melancholy line
of old convicts and it will tend to recall
to the thoughtful mind the march of the
ancient Venetian prisoner over the bridge
of sighs into the dark dungeon below, over
the door of which is written, Leave all
hope behind"
This, Senators, is a bill that commends
itself not only to our sympathy and
benevolence but to philanthropy and jus
tice as well, and meets with the approval
of the president of the board of directors
of the penitentiary, and deserves our
consideration.
